Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Shopify Products Scraper — Prices, Variants, Images & Stock 🛍️ **Scrape any public Shopify store's full product catalog** — titles, prices, variants, SKUs, images, availability, tags, and timestamps — as clean, flat **JSON or CSV**. No API key, no login, no Shopify app. Point it at one or more store URLs and get a structured product dataset ready for **price monitoring, competitor analysis, catalog research, and AI/LLM pipelines**. ### What does Shopify Products Scraper do? Give it any Shopify store URL (or a specific collection) and it returns every product as one clean row. It reads the store's **public** storefront data directly — so you get complete, accurate fields without scraping rendered HTML or fighting a browser. - Scrape **all products** from a Shopify store - Scrape a specific **collection** (e.g. `mens-shoes`) - Get **full variants** — price, compare-at price, SKU, options, per-variant stock - Get **all product images** - **Filter** by price range and in-stock availability, server-side - Scrape **many stores** in one run - Export to **JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML** ### How to scrape Shopify products without the API Shopify's official API needs a custom app, OAuth, and store permission you don't have for stores you don't own. This actor skips all of that — it reads each store's **public** `products.json` and collection endpoints, the same data the storefront serves to anyone. **No API key, no login, no access token.** If a store has disabled its public JSON, the actor automatically **falls back to the XML product sitemap** and per-product JSON — so it keeps working on stores where simpler scrapers return nothing. ### What data can you extract from a Shopify store? Each product record includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `title`, `handle`, `productUrl` | Product name, slug, and canonical URL | | `productId` | Shopify numeric product id | | `vendor`, `productType`, `tags` | Brand, type, and tags | | `priceMin` / `priceMax` | Lowest / highest variant price (real decimals — **not** ×100) | | `compareAtPriceMin` | Original price when the product is on sale | | `currency` | Store currency code (e.g. `USD`) | | `available` | `true` when at least one variant is in stock | | `variantCount`, `variants` | Per-variant id, title, SKU, price, compare-at, options, stock | | `imageUrls` | All product image URLs | | `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `scrapedAt` | Product create/update + scrape timestamps | ### Shopify scraping use cases - **Price monitoring** — track competitor prices and discounts across stores - **Competitor analysis** — compare catalogs, variants, vendors, and tags - **Catalog research & enrichment** — build product datasets for your own apps - **Inventory tracking** — watch stock status and new product launches - **Market research** — see how brands structure products, pricing, and metadata - **AI / LLM pipelines** — feed clean product data into search, RAG, or agents ### How to scrape a Shopify store 1. Click **Try for free**. 2. Add one or more **Store URLs** (a bare domain like `allbirds.com`, the home page, or any product/collection URL — only the store origin is used). 3. (Optional) Add **collection** handles/URLs to scrape just those. 4. Set **Max products per store**, and optional **price** / **in-stock** filters. 5. Click **Start**. Download the results as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull them via the API. #### Example input ```json { "storeUrls": ["https://www.allbirds.com", "https://www.kith.com"], "collections": [], "maxProductsPerStore": 500, "includeVariants": true, "includeImages": true, "onlyAvailable": true, "minPrice": 20, "useApifyProxy": true } ```` ### Input parameters | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `storeUrls` | array (required) | Shopify store URLs. Bare domain, home page, or any product/collection URL. | | `collections` | array | Optional collection handles or URLs. Scrapes only these, on every store. | | `maxProductsPerStore` | integer | Max products per store, after filtering. Default `1000`. | | `includeVariants` | boolean | Include the full variant list. Default `true`. | | `includeImages` | boolean | Include image URLs. Default `true`. | | `onlyAvailable` | boolean | Skip products with no in-stock variant. Default `false`. | | `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | integer | Keep products whose lowest price is within this range. | | `useApifyProxy` | boolean | Route through Apify Proxy. Default `true`. | | `proxyGroups` | array | Specific proxy groups (e.g. `RESIDENTIAL`). | ### Output example ```json { "storeUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com", "productId": 123456789, "title": "Wool Runner", "handle": "wool-runner", "productUrl": "https://www.allbirds.com/products/wool-runner", "vendor": "Allbirds", "productType": "Shoes", "tags": ["wool", "mens"], "priceMin": 98.0, "priceMax": 102.5, "compareAtPriceMin": 110.0, "currency": "USD", "available": true, "variantCount": 2, "variants": [ { "variantId": 2, "title": "9 / Grey", "sku": "WR-9-GRY", "price": 102.5, "compareAtPrice": 110.0, "available": true, "options": ["9", "Grey"] } ], "imageUrls": ["https://cdn.shopify.com/a.jpg"], "createdAt": "2025-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "updatedAt": "2026-06-01T10:00:00-07:00", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-20T12:00:00Z" } ``` ### Why this Shopify scraper - **Clean prices** — real decimal values (`98.00`), not raw integers multiplied by 100 that you have to divide yourself. - **Robust** — automatic XML sitemap fallback when a store disables `products.json`, so it works where lighter scrapers fail. - **Built-in filters** — price range and in-stock filtering happen server-side, so your dataset only contains the products you asked for. - **Multi-store** — scrape a whole list of competitors in a single run. - **No API key, no login** — just URLs in, structured data out. ### How much does it cost to scrape Shopify? The actor reads Shopify's bulk `products.json` (up to 250 products per request), so it's fast and cheap — most of the cost is a small amount of Apify platform compute. Start with the free trial to measure the exact cost for your volume, then scale up. ### How do I know if a website is built on Shopify? Visit `https://thestore.com/admin`. If you land on a **Shopify login page**, the store runs on Shopify and this actor can scrape it. You can also append `/products.json` to the store URL — if it returns product JSON, you're good. ### FAQ **Do I need a Shopify API key or app?** No. The actor reads each store's public storefront data — no API key, no OAuth, no app install. **Can I scrape a single collection instead of the whole store?** Yes. Add the collection handle (`mens-shoes`) or full collection URL to `collections`. **Why are the prices "clean" and not multiplied by 100?** We return real decimal prices (`19.99`). Some scrapers return Shopify's raw integer cents (`1999`) and leave you to divide — this one doesn't. **What if a store disabled its `products.json`?** The actor automatically falls back to the store's XML product sitemap and per-product JSON. If every public endpoint is blocked, it returns nothing for that store. **Can I scrape many stores at once?** Yes — pass a list of store URLs and they're all scraped in one run. **What export formats are supported?** JSON, CSV, Excel, and XML — from the Storage tab or the Apify API. **Can I monitor prices on a schedule?** Yes. Schedule the actor in the Apify Console to re-run on an interval and diff the results. ### Related actors Pair this with other e-commerce and web scrapers in the Apify Store to combine Shopify catalog data with marketplaces, reviews, and competitor sources. # Actor input Schema ## `storeUrls` (type: `array`): Public Shopify store URLs to scrape (one per line). Accepts a bare domain (allbirds.com), the store home page, or any product/collection URL — only the store origin is used. Each store's public products.json (and collection endpoints, if set) is read. ## `collections` (type: `array`): Optional. Collection handles or collection URLs to scrape instead of the whole catalog (for example: mens-shoes, or https://www.allbirds.com/collections/mens-shoes). When set, only products in these collections are fetched, applied to every store. Leave empty to scrape all products. ## `maxProductsPerStore` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of products to collect from each store (after filtering). Use a small number for quick tests and a larger one for a full catalog export. ## `includeVariants` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, each product record includes the full list of variants (price, compare-at price, SKU, options, availability). Disable for a lighter record with only the aggregate price range. ## `includeImages` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, each product record includes the list of product image URLs. Disable to omit image URLs. ## `onlyAvailable` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, products with no purchasable (in-stock) variant are skipped. ## `minPrice` (type: `integer`): Optional. Only keep products whose lowest variant price is at least this value (in the store's currency). Leave empty for no lower bound. ## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`): Optional. Only keep products whose lowest variant price is at most this value (in the store's currency). Leave empty for no upper bound. ## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`): Route requests through Apify Proxy. Recommended — it reduces the chance of being rate-limited by a store. Disable to connect directly. ## `proxyGroups` (type: `array`): Optional. Specific Apify Proxy groups to use (for example: RESIDENTIAL). Leave empty to use the default datacenter proxy. Only applies when 'Use Apify Proxy' is enabled. ## Actor input object example ```json { "storeUrls": [ "https://www.allbirds.com" ], "maxProductsPerStore": 1000, "includeVariants": true, "includeImages": true, "onlyAvailable": false, "useApifyProxy": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All product records produced by this run. ## `overview` (type: `string`): Dataset presented using the overview view. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
